Indie Rights launches international sales on Big Safari Adventure at AFM 2026

Indie Rights is taking Beth Dewey’s Tanzania travel documentary Big Safari Adventure to international buyers at AFM 2026 in Los Angeles. The film is already available on Prime Video and is set for more streaming platforms as it expands beyond festival and market sales.

Why it matters: - Big Safari Adventure gives Indie Rights a new nonfiction title to sell internationally at AFM 2026. - The film adds to the market for travel and wildlife documentaries centered on experiential, first-person storytelling. - The documentary is already live on Prime Video, which gives the film an early audience before its broader rollout.

What happened: - Indie Rights is bringing Big Safari Adventure to international buyers at the 2026 American Film Market. - The market runs November 10–15 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, Suite 1020. - Beth Dewey wrote, directed and executive produced the 62-minute feature. - Shaquita Smith makes her documentary narration debut in the film. - Film Entity LLC produced the documentary through its nonfiction travel programming division, Big Adventure Media.

The details: - Big Safari Adventure follows a group of travelers through Tanzania’s Northern Circuit. - The film focuses on wildlife and landscapes across one of East Africa’s best-known safari regions. - The documentary includes encounters with elephants, lions, giraffes and other wildlife. - The film stars or features travelers Jabari Simba, Dorian Alexis, Susan Flynn, Jill SoChill, Nick Ippolito and Shahan Suzmeyan, among others. - The film is available to rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video. - Planned future platforms include Tubi, Plex, YouTube and additional services. - The creative team includes director of photography Quadeem Hall, additional camera operator Tom Bliss, production sound recordist Okê Gbèdolo, re-recording mixer John Chalfant and colorist Yawen Hu. - Big Adventure Media is the nonfiction travel and adventure division of Film Entity LLC, which develops and produces scripted and unscripted film and television programming. - Dewey’s previous films represented by Indie Rights include Erasing Eden, which secured a distribution deal with Beijing Hualu New Media at the 2017 American Film Market, and the thriller Shadowlands.

Between the lines: - The film’s positioning leans more toward personal transformation and travel experience than traditional wildlife coverage. - That framing may help Big Safari Adventure stand out in a crowded documentary market by targeting viewers looking for aspirational travel content. - Indie Rights’ move suggests the company sees cross-platform documentary sales as a fit for niche international buyers.

What’s next: - Indie Rights will present Big Safari Adventure to buyers during AFM 2026. - The film’s planned distribution rollout will expand beyond Prime Video to additional streaming platforms. - Further international sales could follow if the title finds traction with buyers at the market.

The bottom line: - Big Safari Adventure is entering AFM 2026 with an early streaming release, a travel-doc angle and international sales representation from Indie Rights.
